Silver Spring to Network 75,000 Street Lights Across South Florida

Redwood City, CA – March 6, 2014 – Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI), a leading networking platform and solutions provider for smart energy networks, today announced it has been selected by Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) for North America’s largest networked street light deployment under contract.

FPL plans to deploy Silver Spring’s wireless IPv6 mesh networking technology and management and control software to connect and control 75,000 street lights in the Miami-Dade County region. FPL expects the remote monitoring and control capabilities of the system to significantly improve street light restoration response times and enhance the quality of service to its street light customers. This is an important step in an ongoing effort to modernize and network FPL’s power delivery system, including the nearly 500,000 street lights FPL maintains throughout the company’s 35-county service area.

“Silver Spring’s networking technology and street light solution should enable FPL to deliver an even better experience for our customers throughout South Florida,” said Eric Silagy, President of FPL. “With this new street light technology we expect to leverage our smart grid investments and ensure greater efficiencies and reliability for our street light and existing smart grid networks.”

“Building on the strength and success of its smart grid initiative, FPL is once again demonstrating its leadership in leveraging the most advanced technology to drive efficiency, increased reliability, and enhanced service for its consumers,” said Scott Lang, Chairman, President and CEO, Silver Spring Networks. “We are proud to extend our relationship with FPL and support its ongoing efforts to deliver even more benefits to its customers.”

In addition to its networked street lights deployment in Florida, Silver Spring’s smart street lighting solution has been selected for projects in iconic cities such as Copenhagen and Paris. Copenhagen, the world’s most sustainable city, is looking to Silver Spring to deploy a citywide canopy network to connect more than 20,000 street lights. In Paris, Silver Spring has been selected for an advanced street lighting and traffic controls program as the city seeks to reduce its public lighting energy consumption by 30 percent over the next ten years.
